Optimizing Your Resume With Keywords

Long gone are the days where employers review all resume submissions manually. And even if there are still a few who are doing that, their eyes are quickly scanning over your resume for keywords that align with their view of the position.

A majority of today’s employers rely on scanning technology to go through the enormous volume of resumes that come in to their offices for each open position. It is a process similar to how websites and search engines operate. If your resume contains the right keywords and is “keyword rich” according to what the employer enters for the scanning technology, your resume has a greater chance of getting to the top of the stack for review.

So, regardless of how qualified you may be for the position, your chance at an interview will likely be missed if the scanning technology or human eye does not see keywords that tell them you are relevant for the job.

There are simple ways to figure out what keywords should go on your resume.

Review the job posting. The job posting typically tells you the title or position, specific experiences, skills and education desired or required of a candidate. Highlight all these keywords and work them into your resume in context.

Job description. Conduct searches on career or job board websites for job descriptions of the position you are applying for. You will notice common keywords coming from each of the job descriptions that you can also use in context for your resume.

Company/Organization website. Review its website. You will notice there are field or industry specific terms that are commonly used that should also be applied to your resume in context.

If you are applying for a job as an experienced professional in the same field, your resume may very likely already contain a few of the appropriate keywords. Your relevant experience and the professional lingo you have come to know has helped you apply it to your resume when describing your previous work experiences, but make sure you take the opportunity to optimize every section of your resume with keywords. Consider the following:

Positions/Titles. Employers are searching resumes that contain a matching title for the open position or a level below the position to secure candidates with the relevant experience and skills. Whether you are applying for an “Administrative Assistant,” “Marketing Manager” or “Software Engineer” position, detail your previous experience with relevant titles you have held. If you happen to have a title that is unique or a less commonly known term, change it to reflect the common term employers will understand and that is the functional equivalent to the position you held.

Previous experiences and technical skills. While detailing specific achievements and accomplishment with each of your previous positions, include keywords that relate to skills or programs that the employer desires. Employers want to know that you are familiar with certain methods, approaches and programs that are critical to the success of the position.

Education/Training. Certain employers seek candidates that come from specific institutions, earned a specific degree or studied in a particular field. Utilize the “Education” section of your resume to plug in the appropriate keywords. It’s also helpful to include specific certifications you have received from training.

Summary of Qualifications. This is a category typically found at the top of resumes to indicate to employers what you have to offer and how you have the experience and skills to qualify for the position. Others may prefer to use “Areas of Expertise” or “Professional Profile.” Whatever you choose, it is a section on your resume that provides the opportunity to include important keywords within context. Play with words to include different variations or terms, such as “sales,” “business development,” “strategic alliances,” “channel development,” “regional expansion,” and “market development”. Also use common acronyms as well as the full description, for instance “PR” for “public relations” or “M&A” for “mergers and acquisition.”

The more often keywords in your resume match with the requirements of the scanning technology, the greater the chance your resume will be reviewed and considered. Keywords may also be ranked. So even if you have a lot of matches, it does not replace the value placed against higher-ranked keywords. Make sure you give this the focus that is needed to get to the top of the stack. Thoroughly review the keywords that need to be included in your resume before applying for the job.

Also, keep in mind that after the resume is scanned and selected with technology, it goes through a review by the human eye. You don’t want to pack your resume with keywords to the point that your sentences do not make sense or effectively demonstrate your qualification for the job. Keep the use of keywords in context. Good writing and overall presentation still …

Touch Screen Book Pad – The Future Face Of Books

Books have existed since as early as the twilight of the Roman Empire. Books are sheets of parchments compiled by stringing it together, with each pages containing words that would give enormous amount of information to anyone who is able to decipher the characters. As it was known in the past; someone who is capable of reading and writing is worth more than ten obedient soldiers and almost equal to a king. Educated men in the past wield enormous power because of the valuable knowledge that they have. In Ancient Egypt and China, the world’s two giant civilizations; educated men are so powerful that they could be twice more dangerous than the rulers themselves. Educated scholars have the authority to advice rulers and educate their children, who would then continue their line in a royal dynasty. All these educated men have with them are books, which contain ideas that can either build a paradise or tear the whole world apart.
Imagine a world without books. I bet you could not, for as we borrow the words of an 18th Century ex-slave turned politician-scholar named Frederick Douglass, “to burn books is to burn reason.” If there are no more books, would there be an end to the power of reason in the universe of mankind? Well, that was what the scholars would literally quote when they used scrolls. Therefore, even without books, ideas will flourish and even at a much unprecedented pace than before. I will tell you why.
Our contemporary technology has made almost anything possible. There seems to be a better replacement for good tools or creations of man’s previous brainchild. What could possibly replace books? Based on my imagination, which is then a result of the residue of all the data I have unconsciously accumulated after watching tons of science fiction films or TV shows, I have found an object that might deem books obsolete.
Picture a calculator or any rectangular flat gadget with the similar thickness and composition. There is a button to press in order for the screens to illuminate, just like a laptop monitor or a smart phone. Then an introductory text presentation will be featured on the monitor, presenting the gadget brand much like standard operating systems occurring in playing console games.
What is being shown after that is a bullet form selection of titles. Yes, you guessed it. They are book titles, sorted alphabetically or according to the KB size of each data. For example:
1. Interview of a Vampire then
2. Shogun and
3. 1001 Arabian Nights – enumerated downwards according to the titles you have downloaded from E-book.
This particular gadget functions exactly like books in the past. However, you may not flip on the pages but rather press on the touch sensitive cursor on the bottom side of the text page. There is even a saving data where it will “bookmark” your progress. Perhaps in this distant future, owning this type of academic tool will no longer find libraries necessary or personal bookshelves practical when all you need to do is to go to a station and purchase a data to be installed in your model.…

Corporations Value Their Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Employees

Monday morning, 1991. Frank and I settled into our shared office at the San Francisco headquarters of a major corporation. We were still flying high from an inspiring Pride Weekend. Sipping his latté, he glanced at his monitor, “Julie! Look at the Intranet!” I quickly logged into the corporate Intranet, a newly deployed technology tool,  and read, “This Company should never hire bull daggers, dykes (sic) and faggots.” I read on. “I was humiliated to see our vehicles on the nightly news festooned with pansies and dykes.” And then, “How did these fairies and male ladies (sic) get hired in the first place?” and “I was humiliated by our company supporting this sideshow of misfits.”
Like moths to flames, Frank and I logged on each successive morning as hundreds of similar messages rained down, each one digitally signed with the author’s name and department. When remarks escalated to threats, we suspected that the posters didn’t realize they could be identified, since Intranets were so new. Comforted by assumed anonymity, the attacks went free-style. When our newly-formed LGBT Employee Resource Group (ERG) had dressed in company uniforms and flanked a large company vehicle in the Pride Parade, we’d been naïve not to prepare for this onslaught-if one can ever prepare for insults and threats on the company’s dime.
Two weeks into the attacks, our ERG gathered to create a response. Like secret refugees in an underground bunker, we met off company property and off the clock. Many were scared they’d lose their jobs in an impending witch hunt. Many were angry and wanted vengeance. Some said we never should have marched. By meeting’s end, we agreed on only one action item-we would take our concerns to the highest ranking company official who would listen.
The head of human resources met us at 5pm in a company auditorium. Both LGBT and allies from their own respective ERG’s attended. First we heard a speech, very canned and polished, stating boiler plate sentiments about our great value to the company. The official pointedly never used the words “Gay,” “Lesbian” or any other relevant term.
When he opened for comments, a tsunami washed over the podium. Flanked by his HR colleagues, he stood like a wooden post listening as two themes emerged: Why did the company allow the offensive postings to continue without taking action? Why had the company treated LGBT employees differently from other employees who were protected by company policy?  
Some angry employees threatened to go to the gay press, which for a company headquartered in a city known the world over as a gay Mecca, meant risking embarrassing boycotts and protests. The meeting ended on a sour emotional note when employees spontaneously stood and turned their backs on the HR official when he said, “You people have to understand that many employees disapprove of your lifestyle. Why do you force yourselves on them?” 
By next morning, the employee forum was closed with this statement: “Due to inappropriate remarks posted by a small number (sic) of employees, this forum is closed.”
Many ERG members believed the removal of the employee forum punished all employees for the actions of specific employees. While eventually HR sent around a memo encouraging workplace courtesy, many employees felt the punishment did not fit the crime.
Yet, because we stood fast together as an ERG, for the first time, company officials realized that LGBT employees were a true part of the company and needed to be treated as such. As our ERG meetings grew, we became the fire that caused the company to become one of the first to grant full domestic partner benefits, including granting pension benefits to surviving domestic partners. 
Today this same company remains a strong supporter of its LGBT employees and has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to causes in support of our equality.  …

Computer Science Degrees – To Do or Not To Do

If you’ve been trying to decide whether or not a computer science degree is worth investing your time, money, and effort into, here’s some food for thought:
According to the Computing Research Association, the number of new students in computer science programs continues to increase every year. A survey conducted by the association revealed that the total enrollments in CS departments across the country rose by 10 percent from 2009 to 2010*. What’s even more heartening is the news that this is the third consecutive year that total enrollments in computer science departments have increased-a far cry from the decline that the post-dot com era was witness to!
Does this indicate that the honeymoon between IT giants and popular offshoring destinations is over? The answer, quite simply, is no. But the trend does signify the revival of interest in computer science and other information technology programs amongst American teens, and more importantly, it also indicates that there is a demand for home-bred IT professionals in the country.
The computer science field, where the only constant is the constant evolution of technologies, requires talent to drive innovation of the kind that people like Steve Jobs achieved and inspired. And that kind of innovation can only come from the kind of deep technical skills that can only be developed with a solid academic background.
Benefits of Computer Science Degrees
If you’re still sitting on the fence as far as getting a computer science degree is concerned, maybe what will help you hop over is the knowledge that there are several advantages to entering a computer science program.
To start with, a computer science degree can open up a world of exciting career opportunities for graduates. Whether it’s programming or network administration, game development or mobile technologies, information security or tech support-the career possibilities for a CS graduate can be wider than you might imagine.
The degree also ranks amongst the top-paying undergraduate programs in the country. According to the 2011-12 salary report published by , computer science graduates can begin their careers with an average starting salary of $56,600. By the time they reach mid-career, their salary may be close to a hundred thousand dollars**. But no one will pay you that much if the skills you bring to your job position are not valuable to an organization looking to grow.
Additionally, those who graduate with computer science degrees may find it easier to pursue opportunities to move into managerial and leadership roles. It may not be hard to find an IT job with just a certificate, but the kind of problem-solving, communication, and strategic thinking skills that are expected of tech leaders can only be developed through a sound IT education.
And finally, the mind-boggling growth of social media and mobile applications has created very interesting work opportunities for IT professionals, working for companies of all shapes and sizes that are interested in pursuing the avenues social media and mobile computing can open up for businesses.
IT’s Business As Usual
Gone are the days when the professional world was divided into geeks and non-geeks. The geeks were people who lived in their own zone, seldom mixed with the “others,” and spoke in a language that was beyond the comprehension of ordinary minds.
In today’s business environment, there’s a seamless integration of technical and non-technical departments of an organization, and IT guys are an important part of the corporate team. They are expected to be business savvy, effective communicators, and customer-oriented in their outlook. Most of all, they are expected to be involved team players and demonstrate the ability to collaborate with others at various levels. A solid, well-rounded education that a degree program can provide can help you develop those strengths.
